    Returning iPad Air and purchasing Surface 2

    It's my overall experience with MS hardware. Multiple 360's (not all replaced under warranty, some were due to bad disc drives), multiple mice, then the products they just decided to EOL like my MS Fingerprint Reader or the Xbox Wireless Router...I just didn't want to keep bothering with it. I...

    Returning iPad Air and purchasing Surface 2

    I'm sure there are issues. But between needing to reinstall RT within two weeks of ownership because it began to ignore nearly all system-level swipes (good thing I had just gotten my external keyboard so I could at least pull up the search), to the fact that the digitizer would pick up touches...

    Returning iPad Air and purchasing Surface 2

    I'm doing the opposite. After dealing with software and hardware issues, I'm sending my S2 back for an iPad.

    wait for the power cover?

    But it won't have the backlighting from what I'd seen, correct? Perhaps that's why they went with the Type 1 hardware.

    wait for the power cover?

    I guess you're right. Maybe I was thinking of the mixing cover for some odd reason.

    wait for the power cover?

    But it will have the same keystyle as the Touch Cover IIRC.

    Use of youtube in the background

    If it's like Apple you need permission from them to run in the background. It's usually first-party apps that do it.

    Just ordered Dell Venue 11 Pro (64GB) for $434!!

    The thing is, GPU performance isn't exclusively for gaming. Windows uses it for rendering a lot of things, be it webpages, videos, the OS itself...it's not all CPU dependent.

    Is there any way to get decent touch response in Firefox?

    Firefox still has the add-ons which are top notch. FBPurity, AdBlockPlus, all the themes, plus it's still very fast. Last I saw, FFMetro was launching as Firefox 26 on December 10th.

    Surface2 - sound issues

    I only notice it if I disconnect the headphones when the screen is off. I have to get the screen on, then reconnect and disconnect the headphones to fix it.

    A baby mea culpa..

    Its a Dell. They build crappy products for the most part. Maybe that will change, but not anytime soon.

    SD card slot issue.

    Problem is that I'm pretty far from any real stores lol. I may get in touch with MS about it.

    Tides Starting to Change?

    Yep. Between the size and app selection, I'm considering an iPad Mini as a companion device.

    SD card slot issue.

    Does anyone else have issues getting the card in the slot? I have to practically force the card in to get it into the slot. I'm wondering if its misaligned.

    An interesting article about the iPad (and subtly about the Surface)

    Alan Kay and his DynaBook idea were well before Gates's comments.

    Very unhappy with the Bestbuy Return Nazis :-(

    I thought Best Buy was just a showroom for Amazon and other online electronics stores...

    DualShock 3/4 support?

    Has anyone successfully paired a DualShock 3 with Windows RT? I plugged it in with USB, and it loaded drivers recognizing it was a DualShock 3, but it still didn't work, and when I tried to troubleshoot it RT said that because it was a USB 2.0 device, it wouldn't work with 3.0, and I should try...
